New Delhi, Jan 6: The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Karnataka government to explain why a CBI probe should not be ordered into the suicide of deputy superintendent of police M K Ganapathy on July 7 last year.

scA bench of Justices Adarsh Kumar Goel and U U Lalit issued notice to the state government seeking their response within six weeks on a petition filed by M K Kushalappa, father of the deceased.

Senior advocate Jayant Bhushan, appearing for the petitioner, contended that the officer, posted at the office of Inspector General of Police, Madikeri, was being hounded by then Minister K J George and other senior officers.

The court agreed to consider the plea by asking the petitioner to delete the name of the minister and other senior police officers from the list of respondents in the special leave petition.

The petitioner has challenged the Karnataka High Court's order of October 19, declining a plea for a CBI probe.

“We are of the opinion that transferring of investigation must be in rare and exceptional circumstances only. All steps were taken for ensuring a fair investigation. Superior officers other than two accused police officers were appointed by the investigating agency and the DGP oversaw the investigation throughout,” a division bench headed by high court Chief Justice S K Mukherjee had said.

The court had also noted that then minister George had resigned to facilitate proper investigation at the relevant time. The high court had also declined to look into the closure report filed by the CID in the case.

Belagavi, Jan 17: Maharashtra Minister of State for Public Health, Medical Education, FDA and Textiles Rajendra Patil-Yadravkar who had come here to participate in the martyrs day programme of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) was detained by the police and escorted back till the state borders on Friday.

MES had organised its annual martyrs day programme at Hutatma Circle here. Its leaders had earlier been asked by the District Administration and City Police to ensure that none of the political leaders from Maharashtra participate and create law and order problems by their anti-state statements.

Patil had managed to sneak into the city through a route which was not manned by the police. He came in an auto-rickshaw to the programme venue.

Police personnel present for security took him into their custody and later escorted him till the state’s borders with Maharashtra at Kognoli on the Pune-Bengaluru national highway.

MES leaders alleged that the police personnel violated protocol while taking the incumbent minister into their custody and they also roughed him up.

All vehicles entering the city from different routes and particularly from Maharashtra were screened to confirm that political leaders from the neighbouring state do not participate in the martyrs day programme and create problems by their statements that also affect law and order along with linguistic harmony.

It was not known if Patil had landed in the city on Thursday and managed to reach the programme venue without getting noticed by using an auto-rickshaw.
